Biking Gear

The major purpose of the Royal Enfield flagship store in Delhi is to sell company merchandise and biking gear. The store is packed with an impressive range of biking gear right from all-weather jackets, riding gloves, helmets, shoes, trousers, t-shirts and more. The company has put in quite a bit of effort in designing this range of biking gear keeping in mind the needs and requirements of bikers and have also taken inspiration from the world war era. For instance, the trouser pockets have been positioned and designed such that they are accessible to the user while on a motorcycle. The practical, durable jackets also get secret slots for storing ammunition!

Speaking on the Royal Enfield Gear business, Siddhartha Lal, MD & CEO, Eicher Motors Ltd. said, “Royal Enfield has been instrumental in creating and growing the leisure motorcycling segment in India over the last 60 years. One of the major gaps that our customers have faced while adventuring on our motorcycles around the country is the lack of good motorcycle apparel and accessories. We believe that with our expanded offering of purpose built, meticulously detailed and well-crafted motorcycle gear, our riders will enjoy their motorcycling experience even more. We have also got a wider range of urban protection and moto-inspired clothing which enhances the motorcycling experience in cities or for weekend rides, and looks great when one’s not riding as well.”

The biking gear will be available across Royal Enfield stores in India and will be made available at every RE dealership in the country by the end of this year. The merchandise will be made available online as well as in international markets.

Royal Enfield operates through 12 company-operated stores and 400 dealers in all major cities and towns in India, and exports to over 50 countries across the world including the USA, Japan, UK, several European and Latin American countries, as well as the Middle East and South Asia.
